Question

A nurse in a health care clinic is assisting to test the client for accommodation. Initially, the nurse should ask the client to:

A. Focus on a distant object.
B. Close their eyes and relax.
C. Stare at a bright light source.
D. Read a small print text up close.

Answer 1

The nurse should ask the client to focus on a distant object when testing for accommodation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should ask the client to focus on a distant object when testing for accommodation. Accommodation refers to the ability of the eyes to change their focal power to keep objects in focus.

When the eyes focus on a distant object, the lens of the eye relaxes and has its smallest power, which is necessary for distant vision.
